Four 2cm × 2cm × 2cm cubes of ice are taken out from a refrigerator and are put in 200ml of a drink at 10°C.
- Find the temperature of the drink when thermal equilibrium is attained in it.
- If the ice cubes do not melt completely, find the amount melted. Assume that no heat is lost to the outside of the drink and that the container has negligible heat capacity. Density of ice = 900kg-m-3, density of the drink = 1000kg-m-3, specific heat capacity of the drink = 4200Jkg-1-K-1, latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.4 × 105J-kg-1.
Show that moment of inertia of a solid body of any shape changes with temperature as $\text{I}=\text{I}_0(1+2\alpha\theta),$ where $\text{I}_0$ is the moment of inertia at 0°C and a is the coefficient of linear expansion of the solid.
